The two-year anniversary of DMX's unexpected death passed by last month, leading many rap icons to pay tribute to their fallen friend. Even as the time since his passing continues to grow, the New Yorker's impact can never be forgotten, which is why Tubi and TMZ have come together to commemorate his legacy with a new documentary. According to an exclusive from HipHopDX, the free streaming service will unleash its TMZ NO BS: DMX film later this week, allowing the world to learn more about the life of the most iconic lyricists who ever did it.

"DMX is one of rap’s most iconic figures, ascending to superstardom after rising from the streets of Yonkers to the top of the music world," a synopsis of the upcoming project reads. "Despite his incredible success, a slew of legal and personal problems plagued the life of Earl Simmons." The documentary will further detail these issues, referring to them as "the demons that haunted him until his untimely death." On Monday (May 15), Tubi unveiled a brief teaser trailer for the film, highlighting both DMX's highs and lows.
